Look just to the left of me (as you face me). That’s our Pop reading collection! We also have eBooks and audiobooks available on OverDrive (bc.overdrive.com/). For time management, I recommend academic coaching at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors).

This new slang term among some humans baffles me: how is it that being a decent person has been labeled with a term meant to be derogatory?

Depends on the context. But unless you’re a prince I’d recommend love.

My cuz, the Magic 8-ball® says “Ask again later”

IDK. It’s a common problem, unfortunately. Someone in Student Support Services might be able to advocate for you: http://bit.ly/LBGTQBC

Let’s first avoid WW3 and make it a moot issue, shall we, please?

Creo que es porque los sistemas son tan complicados. Te aconsejo que pruebes las sesiones de tutoría del CFLC (Connors Family Learning Center) bit.ly/BC-connors.

You might want to rethink your priorities.

Right now my worries center around war between Russia and Ukraine, the pandemic, threats to our democracy, systemic issues wrt race, income and other areas. And, of course, indelible markers. I have nightmares about those.

Geographically smaller, geographically larger. Part of one island, multiple islands. Stout, ale. Tricolor, Union Jack. What, did you want me to say something controversial?

Really no idea on either. The walls over at Lyons are not very chatty.

I have known humans who kind of never left – got jobs here and spent their careers in Eagle bliss – but even they did not live here. Securing permanent housing on campus would be very difficult, if not impossible…

Welcome to BC! I love it when transfers arrive, because I know they’ve worked that much harder to get here. (I’m sorry I had to redact the name: I have a no-names policy because my assistants and I can’t always tell the difference between a shout-out and a call-out, and we need to be consistent.)

You have to accept that sometimes you’ll face rejection. It’s impossible to be liked by everyone, but it’s much more satisfying to be liked by a smaller group of people who you can be your true self around than to be liked by a larger group that you feel like you have to pretend for.

My helpers have a Word document with strategically placed boxes to put blank Post-Its on and a parallel document we type in. The printer handles the rest.

That sounds like a worthy endeavor, and thanks for the tip. I’ll recommend this critically acclaimed anime-style series to my assistants.

Love is ultimately a choice, so sure. Your question implies a situation where one person is in love and the other isn’t. I’d want to know more about why learning to love someone seems like a good outcome.

Wow! So was I! Good to see you.
